On flat, dry ground with light tasks, 2WD may be workable, but traction is often the real limiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"57d7deda-8ba4-43ec-acac-0b1e7418ec6a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_implements_should_I_buy_first\"><\/span>What implements should I buy first?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most owners get the most value from a loader (if available), a mower that matches their land, and a grading tool for roads\/driveways.
